In East Renfrewshire, and in every other constituency, we rely upon the skills and compassion of those working in the Care Sector. These are vitally important jobs, which are challenging to fill, and we know we have a need for more staff in the sector.
So it is unfathomable that the Tory UK Government is taking steps to make it even more difficult to attract or retain workers from overseas, by hampering their ability to be with their own family - stopping their dependents joining them.
Donald MacAskill, Chief Executive of Scottish Care has said that these plans are shameful and damaging, and he described treating international colleagues this was as contemptible. He is right.
